The alternator pigtail has four wires and only the middle two have prongs so what colors do I use from the actual wiring harness for the car to the pigtail wearing harness for the alternator plug? Do you have a color diagram for a the vehicle listed above that is exactly what I need.? I can't find anything that well specific enough.

Sure, here are the alternator wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. I have also included a guide on how to check the connections.
